Small and economical salinity logger. Easy to mount on gear. Wide salinity range. Long battery life.
For use on subsea gear and moorings for long-term oceanographic studies. Adding Star-Oddi’s protective housing offers flexible mounting options and added protection.
Key features
Smallest CTD salinity logger on the market
Easy to mount on gear
Wide salinity range, low to high conductivity
Long battery life - up to 5 years
Depth sensors for shallow to deep ocean
Smallest CTD on the market
This small autonomous salinity probe DST CTD measures and records conductivity, temperature and pressure. In addition to the three measured parameters the software calculates and displays salinity values and velocity in graphical and tabular form upon data conversion. It is only 50 mm in length and 15 mm in diameter. Due to its small size it is easy to mount it on various gear and nets.
Application
DST CTD is small and economical when compared to bulkier CTDs on the market. The CTD salinity measuring device is used for a variety of studies including:
Oceanography and hydrography - long term stationary monitoring or surveying. CT version availalble
Fisheries research - CTD attached to fishing gear
Data collection on underwater vehicles – small sized CTD is an advantage. Online version available
For using the CTD on fish and marine animals
Easy to mount on gear with protective housing
A plastic protective housing is available, recommended when fastening the logger to subsea gear and moorings. Whilst protecting the logger it also gives flexible mounting options, with attachment points at the top and bottom. A wire clip is also available for ease of fastening to the research subject
